Compared with the two-state system, MSS can define the components states of a system, and express the effect of the changes of component performance on system performance more flexibly and precisely. In the 1970s, Barlow and Wu [2] first proposed the concept of MSS and gradually established the related theory. Then, the reliability theory of MSS has been widely concerned by scholars. And the following reliability analysis methods for MSS have been developed: the extended Boolean model method [22, 26], random process theory [1, 14, 18], Monte-Carlo simulation method [23, 25], function model method [8, 16, 31], Bayesian network method [13, 29], and so on. The uncertainty, which is caused by the insufficient information about internal structures, the scarcity of historical data and the changeability of operation environment, is one of the most crucial problems in MSS reliability analysis. Therefore, it is very difficult to define and obtain the component state performances and state probabilities. Meantime, the boundaries among component fault states fail to define and obtain with precision. So the traditional probability-based method is no longer applicable. However, non-probabilistic methods, such as evidence theory [7], grey system theory [33], probability-box [27], and fuzzy theory [15, 30], have been proposed and developed for reliability analysis of complex uncertainty MSS.

Therefore, the scraper conveyor is throughout the fully mechanized mining face and occupies an extremely important position. As shown in Fig. 1, the scraper conveyor consists of one control cabinet, one double-chain drive system, two double-drive sprockets, one to three drive units and lots of middle troughs. With the development of high-yield and high-efficiency coal mining face, it is urgent to develop large-capacity, long-distance, high-power, high-reliability scraper conveyors [9]. The intent of the reliability-based optimal design is less maintenance or maintenancefree, resulting in objective economic benefits. The scraper chain (Fig. 2) is the core component of the scraper conveyor; its quality and performance directly affect the working efficiency of scraper conveyors. Due to the complexity and the harshness of the working condition, the scraper chain is prone to serious accidents. The coal production performance can be specifically attributed to the reliability of scraper chains. Therefore, it is considered necessary to introduce the structural reliability models throughout the design process to provide a more accurate reliability assessment and parameter optimization for the scraper chain with multiple failure modes. Random variables such as tensile force, structural dimensions and material properties of the scraper chain may affect its reliability.

The coordination of activities is carried out throughout the whole chain of goods flow from the acquisition of raw materials to deliveries to the final recipient. These activities may include: development, production, sale, maintenance, procurement, distribution, resource management, support activities, etc. The role and location of individual companies – entities in the structure of the supply chain – results from the division of labour at subsequent stages of production and sale of products. Intersecting supply chains constitute a network of relations of interdependent organisations which, acting on the basis of mutual cooperation, jointly manage the material goods flows and information from suppliers to final customers, control and improve them [1, 4, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 36, 21]. It may therefore be said that entities operating in the supply chain through links with suppliers and recipients are involved in various processes and activities that create value in the form of products and services delivered to final consumers. Each of the companies integrated in the supply chain is responsible for a part of the realized flows between entities. There are many unpredictable situations in material goods flows which have a negative impact on the continuity and quality of these flows. The main operational risks1 in this respect from the point of view of an established cell of the supply chain result from the following adverse events: delivery delay, e.g. due to: organisational disruptions at the sup – plier, lack of availability of ordered materials at the supplier, late delivery of the means of transport for loading, wrong selection of transport route, road conditions, delivery errors, extended customs clearance,","PeriodicalId":309533,"journal":{"name":"Ekspolatacja i Niezawodnosc - Maintenance and Reliability","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122074074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, they need a validation in a form of an experiment [33], which could be expensive.

In particular, this involves defining the requirements regarding employees’ knowledge, skills, abilities and behavior, determining the number of workers needed for various positions, and the scope of work that employees in each position have to perform. The quality of employment plans obtained in this process depends on the robustness of the production process to disruptions caused by unexpected events such as employee absences, machine failures, accidents at work, etc. To deal with these uncertainties, organizations must either hire a properly prepared staff of competent workers (with a certain redundancy of competences), or introduce on-line changes to the existing task schedule that will mitigate the effects of the disruptions. In this study, we consider the first of the above-mentioned measures, in which, by anticipating possible disruptions, an organization builds a staff of employees with specific competences, robust to a selected set of disruptions. It should be noted that planning decisions regarding the allocation of production tasks (which require specific employee competences) to resources (employees with given competences) are made in dynamically changing organizational settings [7], which involve frequent changes in the scope and structure of objectives, tasks and resources. Examples of such changes include employee absenteeism (sick leaves, accidents, maternity leaves, etc.), changes in the number of jobs, staff mobility (frequent employment changes), etc. Most of them are random and cannot be anticipated well in advance. Such events are henceforth referred to as disruptions [6, 20]. If a disruption caused by an employee’s absence results in a so-called competence gap, it is usually too late to bridge the gap by introducing appropriate changes (training, employment, outsourcing, etc.).
